Ok people here is the deal. If you had the choose which motor to buy witch would it be? I Know the issues with FSI which is leaning far away from it. Even though I can get them for CHEAP. The TSI is only few hundred more though.

FSI woes:Pay more (for mods)Have to deal with cam follower issuesUpgrade your HPFPUpgrade your injectorsDeal with some smoke from the exhaust at WOT

FSI pros:Has the same bottem end basically as a FSIalso it NOT a 20v 1.8tI could pick one up right nowImbo is cracked easily

TSI woes:I would have to wait / look longerI would have to get it shippedNo one has been able to full crack the imbo atm for it.

TSI pros:No cam follower issuesNo smokingMost of the crap on the FSI is gone on this one (less to delete for a swap)engine management is far superior in every way

Short of the VR as Greg mentioned, I would say the TSI. While the FSI seems to have better top range once you get the HPFP and all that, the TSI seems to be just about bulletproof, besides maybe the waterpump.

2008.5 was the first TSI, but it was a different engine code than the 2009's. MkVI's share the same TSI as 09's except they no longer use a Bosch ECU. That's the reason APR and other tuning companies have to remove the ECU like the Mk3 days.
